Yeah, if you can figure out how to use BitCoin in the first place. Every single "tutorial" I've looked at glosses over the details and only talks about it in abstract terms. Installing "wallets", "mining". Where's the tutorial where it tells you step by step how to set it up, put money into it using a normal payment method and then use it to pay for something?]]>Re: Re: When cops liehttps://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150302/07014530180/should-punishment-falsely-accusing-people-crime-match-punishment-crime-itself.shtml#c578

"the average citizen has to jump through hoops to get one"

Not really. In the vast majority of America, you can get a gun without jumping through any hoops at all by buying from gun shows or other individuals.]]>Re: Re:https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150227/02573230156/is-america-about-to-experience-billion-dollar-pain-corporate-sovereignty-first-hand.shtml#c412

(Hell, if the legal changes then hurt a business in a different industry, then they can sue, too, creating some sort of infinite cyclical lawsuit business model.)

It's funny, but this is the third time in a week (3 different TD posts on 3 different topics) that this design pattern (direct benefits from wins, with penalties for losses paid by "other people") has occurred to me. I can't believe how long it's taken me to notice that this is such a common trope.]]>Re: FCC Net Neutrality backers neutralizes their own arguments against TPPhttps://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150227/02573230156/is-america-about-to-experience-billion-dollar-pain-corporate-sovereignty-first-hand.shtml#c387
